Cindy M. Just did my first Deal and bought a 4 Plex! Need Advice Stat!

Joshua Zapin Property Management Indemnification Standards
30 November 2017 | 3 replies
I am reviewing a property management agreement and came across this clause RE: Indemnification that seems too broad:INDEMNIFICATION:(a) The Owner shall indemnify, defend and save Agent harmless from all suits and/or other legal proceedings whatsoever and cost incurred therefrom in connection with the management of the Property and from liability for injuries suffered by any employee or other person whomsoever, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Agent or its employees, (b) The Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any costs, loss, expense or damage (including attorney's fees) suffered or incurred by the Agent arising out of or related to the enforcement of this Agreement arising out of a default or other breach by the Owner, the management, operation, improvement, alteration and leasing of the Property, including all other activities arising out of or related to Agent's duties under this Agreement or as a result of any act or thing done or permitted by the Agent or its agents or employees; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply to any such cost, loss, expense or damage to the extent that the same relates to or as a result of conduct by Agent which constitutes willful and wanton misconduct.It seems like if one of the Property Manager workers (aka Agent) slips and hurts himself while cleaning the floor the "Owner" is then responsible.

@Devin ArrigoHonestly you'll probably learn more while closing on your first deal than in all of the books/forums/posts you've every read - this is coming from personal experience.One thing I would highly recommend during escrow - order a full property inspection and be there when the inspector is on suite doing their thing.
